Frankly, the Cabinet selections *have* been my moment of silence, a reassurance that the incompetence still outweighs the malevolence. Gaetz is tawdry, sure, but is he going to do worse than Aschroft/Gonzales/Barr? Not a chance. There's also no legislation on the horizon nearly as wide-ranging and harmful as ACCA, AEDPA, or PATRIOT. People seem to assume that Trump is going to snap his fingers and will Project 2025 and worse into existence. That was never a huge threat even if he had evil geniuses for his Cabinet, which he does not.
I never grow tired of remembering the Total Seasons Landscaping incident. Thank you!!!
Recent orthopedic issues have caused me to be quite sedentary and I am using this time to embrace sitting in silence each day. It is a challenge and I can’t always blame my lack of success on the nuttiness of politics and our world in general. With that said, I am getting better at it each day and welcome increased silence as the days, months and next four years ensue.
You got me thinking about my affinity for boredom, as a respite from the insane busyness of my professional life—a long rest after a cacophonous symphony. Love the poetic offerings! Thanks.
Wonderful article chewing the phenomenon of boredom:

I doubt there'll be any silence for a long while now; I predict a screaming roller-coaster.
